Uninsured Motorist Claims

FREE CASE EVALUATION

Clearwater Uninsured Motorist Attorney

1 in 8 drivers in the United States do not have insurance. In Florida, the numbers are even worse – 19% of drivers do not have liability coverage. In the event of an accident, this can be a complex issue.

After an accident, you may experience

Pain and suffering

Medical expenses

Lost wages

The loss of a loved one

When you experience these things, you expect to receive compensation. Generally, the at-fault driver pays from their coverage. However, an uninsured driver cannot provide coverage. A driver may be uninsured if they:

Do not have insurance

Did not meet state-mandated minimum liability requirements

Were denied coverage

Qualified for coverage, but were not able to pay for it

A hit-and-run accident is also considered under uninsured motorist claims. Since the driver flees the scene, their insurance information is not available.

In Florida, drivers are not required to have any bodily injury liability coverage. If an uninsured driver causes an injury or death, this can be a big challenge for the victim or victim’s family. This is also why uninsured motorist coverage is so critical. This coverage comes from your own policy, plus the coverage on the vehicle that the victims were riding in at the time of the collision. When another driver cannot afford to pay coverage, uninsured motorist coverage helps you get the compensation you deserve.

If the other driver has some insurance, but not enough to cover you, you can also seek underinsured motorist coverage.
